Fossils are selling for tens of millions of dollars at auction. But why are the ancient creatures the hot new thing for the ultrarich?
A new genomic method detected roughly 0.49% to 1.1% ancestry from an unidentified human population across five sampled groups.

Archaeologists say an ichthyosaur vertebra was deliberately collected and kept during Roman times.
A fossil feather from the age of dinosaurs may explain why only some birds survived.
The best preserved feather from the age of the dinosaurs was just revealed — and it was inside a blob of fossilized poop.

Port is left, starboard is right,
but, what if you're flying upside down? Is port the left as in the flight direction, or left side of the plane (now on the right)?

With the 2026 Oxford marine reptile meeting coming up soon (Oct 7th and 8th), I've been chasing up published work on #ichthyosaurs relevant to the Appleby Legacy Project, most recently Malawania from Iraq.... tetzoo.com/blog/2021/4/... #fossils #marinereptiles
Just had reason to do some editorial tidying on my article about early tetrapod researcher Prof Jenny Clack, who sadly left us in 2020... tetzoo.com/blog/2020/3/... #palaeontology #fossils #tetrapods
A fossil from China may push the origin of flowering plants back nearly 300 million years, suggesting they appeared long before the Cretaceous.

Refuelling done, so it's immediately back to the skies - No peace for the wicked. (No peace for the slightly wicked either).
There is, however, time to teach an unwilling passsenger how to fly though.
